~Recipe For Disaster! Oh Boy!!~

Good morning my crafty friends, 

We had such a fun night last night at the ball field just watching friends games.

Was nice not to play but just watch.  

Ok, you know I scrap the good, bad, and the ugly...so here goes.

While I love my tattoos, going through a tattoo experience with my 

very indecisive husband...well it was a true nightmare. LOL

When the NDSIB's challenge was to create a recipe I knew exactly

what I wanted to do. Part pretty and fun, part crazy~

I love my hubby but so help me, he gets any other tattoos on his own. 

I had my girl Renee fix his, I will stick to my girl and he can do whatever he needs LOL

This is the picture of him having it fixed, and also him having it done the first time. 

The man just had no luck...LOL

I used the Cuckoo 4U Digital Kits from the Samantha Walker lines

to create this layout, and I am so happy she has such fun lines to work with. 

~Baby Boy Bib Overall Acrylic Album~

Good morning my friends,

This morning I have a fun new project to share, one of the new Clear

Scraps 2012 release designs. A Baby Boy Overall Bib Album! :)

It is so cute and a perfect pair for the Momenta papers I used.

I really enjoyed making the little pockets and cuffs for the cover.

I also added some glitz and glam.

You can see the pages are clear, so I added the Viva Decor Pearl Pen

around the outline to make it pop.

It has room for at least 8-20 photos depending on size.

Sure makes me want to do more albums!

And for the back I added a pocket, then slipped a little

rattle inside just like a little boy would do. :)

Isn't this a fun album?

IF you are headed to CHA you can probably find this in the Clear Scraps booth.

I won't be there this time but if you stop by tell them HI from Pinky! :)

Ok off to have lunch with the gang today, I needed

a girly day! :) Happy Hump Day my friends.

~Imagine Your Art~

Good morning my friends....

I am excited to share this funky artsy project today.

It is the scalloped 8X8 cast acrylic album from Clear Scraps

BUT here is the new part...see the word IMAGINE?

Brand new release! :)

For this mini album I used 4 alcohol ink colors, then

I hand cut a heart from paper and stamped inside the heart.

Then I placed a gold sheet of cardstock behind.

and for the "Imagine" I sprayed it down with PYMII and glittered it,

on the BACK side! :) So it would be nice and glossy on the front.

I am really tickled with it. I cannot wait to fill it with my artsy

pages. I think this album will be my vintage album with my personal pages.

So my friends, how is your week looking?

We are in the middle of prepping for baseball season, hubs took on

coaching this year and we are hammering out the sponsors.

Such a great experience already with so many friends coming together

to help. Then on Wednesday I have girl's day out! :) We are headed for lunch.

And in 2 weeks hubs and I celebrate our anniversary.

Today I am off to create for an upcoming acrylic class...

more word to come on that shortly!

Love ya and thanks for stopping by!!

~More Card Making Fun- Fleur-D-Lis- Football Fans!~

Good morning my friends,

What a wonderful weekend.

Now that all of my CHA projects are finished, I am back

to sharing the new releases and this one is PERFECT for football

and LSU fans...I wanted to make a football card but

who would I send it to?LOL So I made this....

This is a new Clearly Accent Embellishment design from Clear Scraps

(Fleur-D-Lis) paired with my favorite crafty company Kanban!

I love the sentiment, it's going straight to my girlyfriend! :)

I used alcohol ink on the clear accents, then I adhered them to

the GOLD mirror finish Kanban paper, then I added Stickles

all around the edges. It turned out just how I envisioned it!

Now I am off to take the little men to the barber today,

poor Justice is growing a shag LOL :)

Happy Monday my friends, I love ya!

~Super FUN 2012 New Releases!!~

Ohhhhhhh good morning!

I am super excited this week because I finally get to

share projects I have been working on for months now!

Well Clear Scraps anyways *wink* I have a couple other

companies coming soon too.

Anyways Clear Scraps has all new lines this year,

this is JUST ONE of the many new designs!!!!

This Mini Dragonfly album (I LOVE dragonflies!) that I embossed

and inked. I used Teal StazOn to ink it and coffee alcohol inks

to stain the rest.

I ran it through my embossing folders, then used Copper Stickles.

I also used Viva Decor Pearl pens in Bronze on some of the pages.

What I ended up doing was printing a poem about dragonflies onto

paper and trimming it to fit in the dragonfly. I am going to

give this as a pick me up mini book to a friend.

You can see on the wings above I heat embossed it and curled the wings.

And on this last one I stained it with alcohol inks then used the

pearl pen to dot along the wings. Really I just had fun with it and I love it.

I have so much more to share so stay tuned my friends~♡♡♡♡

Happy Monday~
